Talk:Bass trap

This article needs some serious attention
It was written by someone not really understanding the concept. I've corrected some stuff and cleaned up some bad diatribe, but there's a long way to go. Vexorg (talk) 04:26, 21 April 2010 (UTC)


 * On further inspection whoever compiled this article was in no doubt stoned. I shall try and make some sense of it over the coming weeks. Vexorg (talk) 04:44, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

The Image of the blue fabric covered panel absorber
I have removed it as it s NOT a bass trap. a slab of mineral wool does not have absorption characteristics conducive to bass trapping in the form it is presented in the picture.

Typical specs. Absorption rolls off consierably belwo 250Hz

To show such a picture in an article about bass traps is grossly misleading. Vexorg (talk) 23:04, 16 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Panels such as this are commonly sold as bass traps. Installed in multiples in rooms they can help control bass, along with controlling mids and highs. There are other bass trap designs, too, some better at attenuation because of placement (like in corners) or construction. These other designs deserve to have an image in the article but none have been submitted. The panel image is fine, and suits the topic well enough. There is no need to remove it so that we have no image.


 * About the fiberglas image text: panels such as this could contain a number of elements, none of which will be visible to the consumer. It is not necessary that they be filled 100% with fiberglas. Binksternet (talk) 07:31, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

So your only real argument is that you don't want an article without an image. Also your argument regarding the contents of the fabric slab is only refinforcing my argument that this image is not suitable for the article. in fact if it's not filled 100% wioth mineral wool it would absorb even less bass

The article needs an image of a bass trap, not an image of a mid-high early reflection panel absorber which doesn't actually absorb bass to any degree. I will try and find a copyright free image of a real bass trap, as should you. In the meantime this image is inappropriate and I shall again remove it. Vexorg (talk) 16:43, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
